The essence of watches is a tool, a tool used to record time, but as the price of watches gets higher and higher, it is endowed with identity attributes, so what is the difference between a 10,000 watch and a 10 famous watch? Is it an IQ tax for our hard-earned money to buy an expensive watch?
1) Same design, same function
The Tissot Gentleman P 80 calibre and the Rolex Date just 3235 calibre look very similar. The functions that Rolex has, Tissot is not bad, and Tissot's movement has a kinetic energy reserve of 80 hours, which is higher than Rolex's 72 hours, but Tissot's budget is less than 10,000, in fact, not only Tissot, many low-budget watches have similar designs and functions to high-end watches,
Of course, we can't just look at the surface, look deeply, Rolex uses logos and hour markers made of white gold, or white gold bezel, as far as the strap is concerned, the texture of Tissot is clearly lacking, the Rolex strap is very thick, and it feels silky smooth on the skin. And the clasp is so perfect that it just needs to be closed for a perfect fit, while Tissot only closes the clasp, not a fit, and the fine details are the advantage of expensive watches.
2) 10 times the difference, is the quality of Rolex 10 times better?
When it comes to the quality of the watches, I think Rolex is the best. Especially in terms of long-term durability, there is no brand in the luxury watch industry that can be matched in the short term. Obviously, the quality of Tissot and Rolex does not need to be compared, the appearance is the same, does not mean that the details are the same, a simple example: Rolex uses ceramic sleeves at the joints of the strap, in order to wear the strap for many years without deformation, the cheap Tissot is linked to the lugs, and the strap is loose for long-term wear. These details determined that in the end Rolex was the winner. It is an exaggeration to say that the price difference is 10 times and the quality is 10 times better, and the manufacturing cost of Rolex is about 10,000 yuan.
3) The value of expensive watches cannot be denied
Many cousins think that buying a famous watch is an IQ tax, but in fact, expensive things, in addition to being expensive, almost all the rest are advantages, and Rolex is perfect in every way: the highest quality materials, perfect aesthetics, unparalleled feel, and well-designed appearance recognition, as well as durable in-house movements, which do not need to be repaired for at least 10 years.
More important than all of this is the value of the brand, the prestige behind the famous luxury goods, and the emotions you feel when you wear this watch. In a few years, Rolex will be a legacy, and Tissot is just one watch, and this is the huge difference between 10,000 watches and 100,000 watches. The feeling that every watch lover gets when wearing a watch with a brand heritage is priceless. Entry-level watches can't replicate this particular feeling.
Summary of tips: An expensive watch needs to pay a lot of hardships in the 100 years of operation, itself is a brand value, not to mention the IQ tax, the watch is now recognized, becoming a status symbol is the result of the brand's operation behind the scenes, although 10,000 watches and 100,000 watches have the same function, but the wearing feeling is completely different.
